What you'll learn

Many organizations suffer from “SharePoint sprawl,” characterized by deep folder structures, untagged or inconsistently tagged documents, and other buried information that can stall productivity and undermine compliance. In this course, SharePoint Content Management and Information Architecture, you’ll gain the ability to design and implement a scalable, metadata-driven content management system. First, you’ll explore how to create document libraries and custom lists enriched with structured metadata, lookup columns, and validation rules. Next, you’ll discover how to implement enterprise content types, publish them across site collections using the content type gallery, and attach standardized document templates. Finally, you’ll learn how to design dynamic list views and apply information architecture best practices that make content easier to organize, navigate, and find without the use of folders. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of SharePoint information architecture needed to build governed and user-friendly SharePoint environments.
